new IB offers from Kings College London

Kings have looked at the offers they have been making to IB students and felt that offers so far may have been penalising IB students.  To achieve 38 points (so far treated as broadly equal to AAA at A level) an IB student has to achieve for example 666 in HL subjects, 666 in SL subjects and 2 points from the Core.  An A level student is likely to be taking 3 subjects and would have given up on additional subjects most probably at GCSE.  By changing the A level offer AAA to an IB equivalence of 35 points including 666 in HL subjects, Kings are being far fairer to IB students in their application. A subject such as Maths will still require a 6 in HL maths, however the new entry requirements from 2014 entry are faairer to IB students whilst still requiring 666 in HL and therefore only very able students can apply.
